My cousins did that when they were younger and I thought they were the biggest freaks!! My step-daughter ONCE referred to her grandmother as "pat" (usually she calls her grandma pat so it's not a big stretch) and I chewed her out for an hour. Nope. Adults are not called by first names unless they really, really want the kid to do that. Not in my house. <BR/><BR/>Okay Ward. There's a problem with the Beaver.

You should be good for another ten minutes ;) But, seriously, I was relieved to see you mention the very thing that had me concerned about my own daughter--she'll do or say something for awhile and then suddenly forget she ever had such skills...for months at a time! The girl just remembered how to wave and clap her hands after a two month hiatus. But if the intellectual and urbane Archer does that too, I am no longer worried. It's clearly a sign of greatness.Binkyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04898541616816578390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-1153343962100893242006-07-19T14:19:00.000-07:002006-07-19T14:19:00.000-07:00Wow he is smart!
